Chapter 121 - 121: Love Dessert

After Mrs. Lee left, Class Forty-nine lost its headteacher and math teacher, which was a hassle. A class couldn't have any headteacher or a math teacher.

Many math teachers wanted to teach this top Class, and many were willing to be the headteacher. This made it difficult for Director Bull to make a decision. He examined the teachers' teaching results over the years and finally decided to have Natalie, another math teacher, to take charge of Class Forty-nine. After the decision was made, the school was finally back to normal.

In the evening, Sophia came to the exam center on time to take the exam.

There, she saw the boy she met in the alley that day, and smiled and said, "Hello. Nice to meet you again."

The expression of Kurt was delayed. When he was about to say something, Sophia had turned to her seat, so he had to sit down.

He wanted to tell Sophia that his name was Kurt Weller, and he was number one in science class.

Somehow, he wanted her to know his name.

Kurt often got full marks on chemistry exams, with occasional mistakes. But he had no confidence in this chemistry exam. He had done papers of the Chemistry Olympiad before, and he could basically get a pass. The Chemistry Olympiad and the College Entrance Examination were not at the same level, and the former was too difficult.

He came to the exam to practice but not compete for a place.

At this time, not only Kurt but all candidates' eyes were focused on Sophia.

It was well known that she won first place in the Mathematical Olympiad, which was the best score of Colin in recent years.

But... didn't she major in liberal arts? Liberal arts students studied mathematics but not chemistry. Did she really know chemistry?

Director Bull invigilated with two chemistry teachers. He looked haggard, his eyes were a little dull, and he looked in a bad spirit.

The teachers handed out test papers, and everyone began to write.

Sophia was good at chemistry. It was easy for her to do it. She finished the paper in half an hour.

She put away her stationery and handed in her examination paper.

Director Bull's eyes were still dull and watched her walk past him.

The examinees who were writing all looked up. They had not finished even half of their questions. Sophia handed in her paper. Really?

The examinees suspected that she handed in the paper because she could not do it. After all, liberal arts students did not study chemistry. She might come to have a try.

Only Kurt had a mixed feeling.

He looked up at the back of Sophia, thinking about the exam before the Mathematical Olympiad. That time… she handed in the paper so soon.

Was he going to see another familiar scene?

The questions were harder than Kurt thought. After he had done half of the questions, he couldn't find any more questions he could do. According to the questions he had done, he could not even score a passing grade.

After Sophia handed in the test paper, he turned his eyes to the two teachers who were reading her paper.

On their faces, he saw familiar expressions.

Shock, surprise…

The outcome of the exam was already obvious.

Director Bull didn't know much about chemistry. When he saw two chemistry teachers talking in a low voice, he walked over, "What's wrong?"

One of the chemistry teachers said, "I shouldn't say that, but… I think there is no need for other candidates to continue the exam."

He handed the paper to Director Bull, "Full marks."

Director Bull was shocked.

What a familiar scene.

At last, his eyes were no longer dull, and there was light in them.

There was hope to save the reputation of Colin High School.

Sophia cycled out of school and saw Hammer's car parked not far away. She had seen the car, though it was just a glance, the license plate had stuck in her mind.

When Hammer saw her coming out, he got out of the car and walked to her.

"Hi, my savior." Hammer laughed.

Sophia took a look at him and saw that he had dyed his yellow hair back into the black, neatly combed and in place. The suit was also changed into a black, very simple and generous style.

Catching Sophia's gazing, Hammer said with pride, "Well? Do I look a little more mature today?"

Sophia didn't answer the question but asked, "You're looking for me?"

Hammer smiled and said, "I just want to thank you and take you to dinner. You're not available last time. And I didn't know where you live. So, I had to wait for you here. Just give me a chance, or I'll come here every day."

"Are you threatening me?"

"No. I never meant that. I'm just grateful…" Hammer hurriedly said.

Sophia could not stand his brother and had to say, "All right. But I don't want to have dinner. I had some desserts before Class, and I'm not hungry now."

Hammer came over, "It's fine. We can play somewhere else, bar, KTV, cinema… anywhere."

Sophia thought about it. She was neither drunk nor wanted to go to a bar. And she was a little uncomfortable with strangers on KTV. It was better to go to the cinema.

"Let's go to the cinema." Said Sophia.

"Okay." Hammer nodded at once.

But there was another problem. "I don't know where to place my bike…" Sophia said.

"Find a chauffeur," Hammer said without thinking.

Was there a bike rider? Sophia was confused.

She had to leave her bike at school first. Then she had to go to school by bus the next morning. But she did not tell Hammer that for fear he would make trouble again. She thought he looked a little bit… stupid. She called her mother and said she would be back a little late so that she wouldn't worry.

Hammer was happy to open the door for her. When she sat in, he closed the door in a very handsome posture. Then he went to the other side and sat down next to her.

"Let's go to the cinema," Hammer told the driver.

In the Pearson Office.

Albert was reading reports when his cell phone rang.

He answers the phone," Sampson? You're not here. Where are you?"

He had not seen Ryan for a night. He thought the guy was going to rebel.

"Well," Ryan said eagerly, "I am going to send some love desserts to Sophia in your name. So, I'm waiting at the school."

Albert was helpless, "What love desserts? Come back now."

"Don't worry, sir. Listen to me." Ryan said, "Luckily, I'm here today. Do you know what I saw? Do you remember the kid who drove a shitty car the other day waiting for Sophia at the school gate? He came to her again today. I heard him say he was taking her to the movies. Aren't you mad?"

Albert wanted to say he was not angry, but… he couldn't speak it out.

Hearing no words from Albert, Ryan laughed, "Sure enough, like me, you don't like this guy stealing behavior."

Albert said nothing.

"What should we do, sir?" Ryan asked.

Albert frowned slightly and said coldly, "Ruin his plan. Do you want me to teach you such a simple thing?"
